What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please.

Well Roon claims to be very well structured around composers for classical so that is a plus. But what sources are you wanting to stream? Your own files? Spotify? Tidal? Amazon? YouTube? Others? Also what other devices do you have that you might want to cast from? Sources and protocols the streamer can support will come into play. It can be very confusing but varies a lot among streamers. One of the reasons I am not too quick to make a jump quite yet personally. Features in general can vary widely especially when factoring in the app choices for use. Way more than absolute sound quality, which is best addressed via the dac you choose to use with the streamer. Could be internal built in or external.

What sources are you streaming or want to stream? That will narrow down the candidates.

With streaming these days , it’s hard to find bad sound quality. What is good or better can be highly subjective and difficult to determine with certainty. However streamer features vary widely. The right one is probably the one with the right features. Then use an external dac of choice from there if needed.

My streaming sound setup has been in place for a number of years now and still sounds great. I’m considering trying some newer stuff but have not settled yet.

I run primarily squeeze box touch to mhdt Constantine DAC. See my system page . I’ve heard a lot of good setups in recent years and nothing yet has convinced me I must upgrade.  

That doesn’t look too shabby. What’s the issue?
